2021 Map of Lookout Butte SW

About this map

Steamboat Butte and the surrounding high plains of Fremont County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses and irrigation infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the elevated Stagner Ridge in the south toward the expansive Wildhorse Flats to the north. Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by the Hayes Ditch traversing the southern sections and unique geothermal features like the Steamboat Geyser located near Mexican Flat. Transportation in this portion of the Wind River Basin relies on established routes such as Maverick Springs Rd and Burris-Lenore Rd, which navigate the drainages of Mexican Draw and Water Rocks Draw. The map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System township and range lines that have shaped the rural development of this high-desert region.
